Dear Christian; This is a truly excellent sighting indeed. That
high altitude tussock grassland is indeed the habitat of Striped
Flufftail, and there have been several historical records from there,
the last being a reported sighting near Satima peak in February 1974.
A flufftail that high up with an all-red tail could only be a
Striped, and so after 42 years its really great to have this. Many
congratulations.

Could you possibly expand the details for us with a brief account of
your two sightings, date and particularly the altitude etc. A brief
description of the bird would also help.

Thanks and very best wishes
Don Turner
